    in it. Initial diagnosis by Ford was a jem module but this has been replaced and still no go.

  • Mitsubish Colt - impressions 16 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    mph. Ride, handling and steering very good - not quite an instantly responsive as a Ford Ka but getting that way, and the seats are more comfortable. It's well-equipped for a basic model too - remote central locking, one-touch electric windows both sides, a CD player and a trip computer. Personally

  • The "French" fight back. 20 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    Between approximately 1980 and 1990, my job included a company estate car. At the time company policy was Ford, Granadas for the ?management? and so on. We service/technical people had Cortinas, replaced by Sierras when they were available. I had one Cortina and 3 Sierras from new. The Cortina
  • K Series RIP ? 7 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    with SAIC, LR are looking into which Ford engine can be slotted in from one of their range. This presents me with an interesting challenge. I have been offered an 'R' reg 1.8 Freelander quite cheap on the understanding that it needs a new engine. I have not inspected the car but I suspect it's HGF
  • Thoughts from holiday 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    or Ford now. Badge snobbery keeps me in a lovely Subaru (she drives a Hyundai??) but I could save fortunes in a great diesel Ford or Skoda. -- Espada III - well if you have a family and need a Lamborghini, what else do you drive?
  • Mondeo ST24 V's ST220 fuel economy. 15 Sep 2004 (Forum)
    a few years back produced an average of 18mpg, being an American built Duratech V6 lump, I dont think they were too concerned with economy. The Mitsubishi Galant 2.5L V6 I own now does 28 - 35mpg, although it has less power than the Ford it delivers it in a way that I wouldn't be able to tell
  • Owners manuals ? dumbing down? 19 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    I only have two Ford manuals to judge by but are owners manuals dumbing down? Obviously lots of useful info in the manuals but two examples follow where I think the basic data should be supplied. I am much more likely to need this info rather than even the oil filter type. I should not need
  • New fiesta? decision time 17 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    for the additional cash outlay. Surely Ford have got to make a base model with the 1.4 engine. Dont suggest the Ford Web site, words fail me or will get me banned. They need to look at what the opposition does for user friendly fast usable information.

  • 2500km in a Citroen Xantia 17 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    . At least it will give David loads of things to argue with me about !! ;-) Firstly, I think it?s a good looking car, much better looking than the Xantia saloon. I have a deep, dark, green colour, and the interior is black, so it really looks pretty good. The lights are pretty bad. Even when I have been
